Landfill Fee Increase!

To discourage landfill use and encourage greater recycling, the County of Orange has increased public landfill fees as follows:

Large Trucks from $27 per ton to $46 per ton of waste disposed.

Small Pick-Up Trucks (i.e. less than an 880 pound load) from $12 to $20 per load.

You can avoid this fee increase by recycling more and taking your waste and recyclables to a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) or other recycling facility instead of the landfill.

Waste Management is excited to offer Recycle Coach to the Irvine community. Recycle Coach technology personalizes local waste and recycling program information and makes it instantly available on demand.

Compost deserved a new story. One of nature’s most astonishing processes, the black gold we call compost has been undervalued for too long. Compost as the regenerating, probiotic, solution for our depleted land, could play a major role in rebalancing the world’s carbon cycle.
